Finally tested the last of the Stirling soap samples. Pleasant scent but perhaps below mild...would be better if stronger. The lather was creamy & slick!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Reasonably smooth and comfortable during the 3passes for a dfs+ result and 1 micro creeper. Nice aftershaves.

Tue 23rd SE SOTD
Soap B&M Cheshire
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor Yaqi AC Brass (alternated between the original brass handle and another heavier Yaqi brass handle)
Blade Feather ProGuard 9th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
I absolutely love this aromatic soap scent! Thick, creamy, and slick too...
Shave with the razor with the well-used blade was another smooth, comfortable, and efficient 3passes without any issues for a BBS result. Hmmm...I still prefer the original handle. Very enjoyable session.

Ugghhh...I managed to drop my brush in the sink after lathering. [Sigh]. That somewhat threw me off my game and just stopped chasing it ending with an acceptable DFS for the day.

The post shave elixir from @LNHC has a smooth buttery balm consistency. It was an excellent finish to this combo in both aroma and hydration.

Razor: Gold Dollar P81 (5?)
Brush: Yaqi 22mm Sagrada Familia badger
Soap: CBL Master Barber SIR Irish
Splash: Irisch Moos
Balm: LNHC Irish Green Tweed Elixir
